Question

why did senator henry cabot lodge issue a list of concerns he had regarding article x in the treaty of versailles? (1 point)
○ lodge feared that the league of nations would result in extensive american intervention in foreign affairs.
○ lodge insisted that the united states should take revenge against germany for drawing the country into the war.
○ lodge believed that president wilson had a duty to enforce his foreign policy on the international community.
○ lodge argued that the treaty would interfere with president wilson’s policy goals.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Senator Lodge was a Republican who opposed the Treaty of Versailles, especially Article X (related to the League of Nations) because he feared the League would involve the US too much in foreign conflicts, limiting US sovereignty and leading to extensive foreign affairs intervention.
• Option 2: Lodge's concerns weren't about revenge on Germany; his focus was on US involvement via the League, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Lodge opposed Wilson's foreign policy (the League) and didn't think Wilson should enforce it internationally; this is the opposite of his stance.
• Option 4: The treaty (and League) was Wilson's policy goal, so Lodge arguing the treaty interferes with Wilson's goals is incorrect—Lodge opposed the treaty itself (specifically the League part) due to US involvement concerns.

Answer:

A. Lodge feared that the League of Nations would result in extensive American intervention in foreign affairs.
